Dickenson Law is at Penn State, not at Dickenson College. It's not a great law school FWIW


It used to be part of Dickinson College—it was while I was growing up. You aren’t even spelling Dickinson correctly so perhaps you are not the expert here.


It’s being re-combined with Penn State Main’s law school.

Jumping into this conversation. Dickinson Law and Dickinson College were always two separate entities. Although they are next to each other and both have Dickinson in their names.

Dickinson Law was never part of Dickinson College. It was an independent law school. That changed in the late 90s (or early 00s) when PSU bought Dickinson Law because they wanted a law school.

PSU eventually built up another law campus closer to their campus and while they didn't let Dickinson Law School go, they did something to it so now it's known as Dickinson School of Law at PSU or something.

Anyhoo...DSL was never part of Dickinson College.


+1. And not a great law school

Did you not see the posts about about poor ratings in Forbes and Moody's?

The falling enrollment between 2018 and 2019 could possibly be attributed to their "Should white boys still be allowed to talk?" guest piece in the school newspaper in February 2019. I know I would never pay for my kids to go there, specifically because of that.


Literally every school has fringe students.


Sure, but that piece came out in the student newspaper (and received national attention) right about the same time prospective students were receiving acceptances for fall 2019. How many "white boys" want to go to a school where the student newspaper is giving the impression you shouldn't even be allowed to talk? And the administration is supportive of that?
If you were the parent of a "white boy" would you be willing to spend hundreds of thousands to send him to a school like that?


My white boy is there and loves the school
